Julia Mary Yeomans, FRS, FInstP (born 15 October 1954) is a British theoretical physicist and academic. She is active in the fields of soft condensed matter and biological physics. She is Professor of Physics at the University of Oxford.

Yeomans was educated at Manchester High School for Girls, Somerville College, Oxford (where she was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree in Physics in 1976) and Wolfson College, Oxford where she was awarded a DPhil degree in Theoretical Physics in 1979). During her DPhil research, she worked with Robin Stinchcombe on critical phenomena in spin models.

After two years of working as a postdoctoral researcher at Cornell University with Michael E. Fisher, she was appointed a lecturer at the Department of Physics at the University of Southampton in 1981. In 1983, she moved to the University of Oxford where she became a professor in 2002.

Yeomans is a professor at the Rudolf Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics. Her research concentrates in theoretical modeling of processes in complex fluids including liquid crystals, drops on hydrophobic surfaces, microchannels, as well as bacteria.
